Great (insert sarcasm here)! My favorite hero of the year just happens to be the devil. Yep, seriously, the devil, or Hades as he’s known here. In Sherri Erwin’s To Hell With Love, Hades is lonely and attempts to seek a mate. He knows he must go somewhere pretty liberal, so he picks the Northeast…
Although this book revolves around a central romance, the tone of the book felt much more like an epic novel to me. This is the first novel in a series concerning the age old confrontation between good and evil, which always involves an intricate story line. Lord of the Fading Lands is no exception, and…
Knights of the Round Table: Gawain is both the third book that Rowley has published and the third in this interesting series that puts a different spin on the legends of those mythic knights. Rowley’s writing is intelligent, witty, and filled with great imagination. In this book she features the courageous, honorable Gawain, along with…
On rereading Barbara Hambly’s Bride of the Rat God for the purpose of writing this review, I was surprised once more by what a truly superb novel it is. On rereading, I found new details to savor, ones that I had overlooked before because I had been too caught up in the excitement of the…
So, this one doesn’t suck. And considering the many, many, many fantasy and paranormal romances out there these days, that’s almost a recommendation. I didn’t read the first book in this series, but the info-dump the author helpfully provides in the first few chapters made that a non-issue. The key points here are that demons…
The front cover of this book says it’s a Dark Hunter novel. For those that have followed the Dark Hunter like I have, I’m warning you right now, this isn’t a Dark Hunter book. However, for those that have been waiting for a much more comprehensive background on Acheron and Artemis, this delivers, although Acheron…
Emma Holly is just a pleasure to read. Sexy, erotic, hot, steamy, it’s true, but also smooth, considered, well-crafted, and oh-so-easy to read. Holly is one of those writers whose writing never gets in the way of the story. Fairyville, Arizona isn’t like other towns. Fairyvillers are always just a little different, have something just…
As a devoted fan of Erin McCarthy, it was no question I would read My Immortal even though I’m not too happy with that whole vampire thing she’s trying to pull. Now she’s going with a new angle: a darker fantasy romance that counters her humorous contemporaries and vamp books. Damien du Bourg is a…
A Distant Magic is Mary Jo Putney’s third, and final, Guardian novel. Guardians are mages, humans with magical powers who have pledged to use their magic for the good of humankind. While I enjoyed the first third of this novel with its intriguing leads and magic, Putney’s change of course into time-travel and history lessons…
If you like Stephanie Plum, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you are going to really love Maureen Child’s More Than Fiends, the first book in a series of a demon hunter/house cleaner. Don’t expect anything remotely realistic in this story, but it is funny as can be. When Cassidy Burke was sixteen, she had a…
